PanPastel Artist Pastels by GOLDEN, Tints Set, 20 Color, Professional Artist Pastels, Unique Pan Format (cake-like)

Panpastels are quickly becoming my favorite pastels to use. I started with the portrait set, as it had the colors I use most, to try them out and fell in love with them.Hint: if you want just a few for seascapes, landscapes or portraits, then those specialized sets are good deals! But, if you want all the colors in this line, buy the Tints, Painting, Shades, and Extra Dark Shades sets instead and that will give you the full line with no repeats.These are pricy, but for the quantity you get (as in, the amount of color per disk) it's comparable to the cost of other artist-grade pastels and even, in cases such as Unison, often much more cost-effective. Plus, you don't have all the dust and falling debris that plagues the softer stick pastels.These sets come with some Sofft tools: 1 round, 1 finger-tip shaped, a few wedges, a few short wands, and two applicators - one with a rounded filbert-like head and one square, along with some replacement sponges for the heads.It does not come with the triangular applicator - but it can be bought separately.These can be used to create art on their own or combined with any other pastel or dry media, such as charcoal and graphite. Because of their softness and the ease of spread, they can be used to create mist, smoke, and other effects on watercolor paintings.They are, however, a little on the semi-opaque side. Meaning, they don't cover as well as stick pastels do. So if you like to outline your work, keep this in mind and use pastel pencil colors as close to the local color as you can get because unless you want to put on a bunch of layers, the lines will show through. Exceptions being the darker shades and, of course, black.

Well packaged. None broken.

I did not like pastels, at all. I had seen some beautiful artwork, done by another artist, and, he used Panpastels. He raved about how nice they applied, etc. He was not lying. I LOVE these pastels so much! I already bought the 20 Color Set Painting Pure Colors and absolutely loved those, so, I decided to purchase this 20 Color Set Tints. Goodness, they are so buttery and creamy, and so beautiful to apply. The sets come with Sofft Tools to start. It does not come with the oval or pointed spatula, just the flat and the round. It also comes with small applicator sponges, like the ones that look like eyeshadow sponges, and some other sponges, enough to get you started. They stack for storage, like those little plastic containers that you would store beads in. I recommend buying the clear palettes that they sell separately, that you can put them in. If you want to store them separately, you have to buy extra lids, which they sell. What I've also found is that the paper I used, meant everything! Use Pastelmat, if you can. Also watch tutorials, online, that explore the many things you can do with these pastels. You may also feel that it's a bit pricey, but, they are so highly pigmented that it will take a VERY LONG time before you get to the bottom of the pan. I use these Panpastels with colored pencils and pastel pencils. Overall, I love this product and I'm very happy with the purchase. In, my photo, I mainly show the brighter colors, but, you get the gist. The Tints colors are amazing for creating skin tones, too! Amazing product.

The product is nice, but 5 out of the 20 colors came absolutely smashed inside. This didn't happen with the 20 colors painters set, but specifically with this 20 tints set, disapointing. Meanwhile i'm still waiting for my extra darks which is running late...i hope they don't get smashed in transit too. (on a side note. this is my fourth time ordering the palette trays, what's up with the delayed and/or lost products lately?)

These pastel colors are great to use as soft backgrounds for art work, especially for colored pencil pictures, because the pastel doesn't discolor a wax or oil-based pencil drawing. They are pricey, but worth every penny. And they're forgiving, because if you make an error, you can erase them easily and try again. They come with a small selection of useful applicators. Since the pans come stacked together, they are not that easy to access individually, and there are only four pan lids - one for each stack of five pans. So I recommend you also buy a pan pastel palette to store them in.Pan pastels are low-dust, unlike pastel sticks which can get quite messy to use. They are easy to apply with the included tools, but you should spray a fixative on the finished artwork to keep the pastel from smudging. I think they're a great medium for the colorist's toolkit, and this selection of shades is the best for backgrounds.

This ordered arrived in perfect condition with no pastels broken. Was packed with bubble wrap so that protected inner box.PanPastel tints are the original 20 colors “tinted” with white to create a beautiful, very soft pale version of the originals.They are wonderful to use in coloring stamped images or for painting your own original pictures or portraits.

Absolutely love Pan Pastels but they are difficult to ship without breaking., two arrived broken.

I love how velvety and smoothly they go on the paper. So easy to blend. They work really well as a base layer for colored pencils.

I got them to complete my set. I now have all the tints, shades and dark shades. They work great with my scrapbooking style

Pan Pastel ist die Premium Marke für Pastellfarben. Es gibt keine besseren, ich habe so so viele schon ausprobiert. Es ist ein tolles Arbeiten damit. Ich habe schon fast alle Farben. Die Preise sind hoch aber für diese Qualität gerechtfertigt.

Ottimi questi pan pastel, per disegnare sono spettacolari, comprati di diverse intensità, e se incasso ti arrivano sbriciolati si possono ricompattare basta andare su YuoTube ed il gioco è fatto; ci sono anche dei video per imparare a come usarli al meglio

Muy buen producto, llego en perfecto estado, aunque 1 día más tarde de lo previsto, trae algunas esponjas que ayudan a pintar, da un toque muy real a las creaciones de @quaquasic

Great set. Matches perfectly with the other sets, as expected. Despite. being a ‘tints’ set, the coverage on the painting surface is really good. They permit a really effective control of tone in combination with the other sets. Great price too.
